Critics Review
Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
CBC Kids Favorite Selection
Colorado Children’s Book Award Nominee
Texas Horned Toad Tale Reading List
“A tender story of the strength of friendship and the power of a dream, this page-turner captures the heart.”–School Library Journal
“O’Connor’s affection for small towns, slightly eccentric people, and low-key humor shines through, her surehanded narrative and appealing characters reliably engaging, as always… Warm-hearted and wonderfully likable.” –Kirkus
“Idalee narrates the story with a distinctive voice… The Southern, small-town atmosphere feels plucked out of time, and readers will find themselves transported to Idalee’s big house, getting to know the people staying in it and joining her friends on the adventure of finding the treasure.” –Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
“Readers who enjoyed Charlie’s story in Barbara O’Connor’s Wish will enjoy this return to her small town in North Carolina, narrated by Charlie’s classmate Idalee… [Dream’s] strongest asset is O’Connor’s ability to let Idalee tell her story in her own, distinctive voice, while creating secondary characters who are interesting and equally true to life.” –Booklist
“In a leisurely narrative that reflects the small-town atmosphere of Colby, O’Connor gives readers much to ponder.” –Horn Book
